Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and creamy.
  • Beat in 1 egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and remaining egg until smooth.
  • Spread half of the blueberry batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter, then top with the remaining blueberry batter.
  • Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.

Notes

Toss frozen blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour before folding in to reduce streaking. Add lemon zest for a brighter flavor.
